“You…”

It wasn’t until Qin Lang had finished eating the food in his hands that the boy who had been mocking Si Wenwen came back to his senses. “What are you doing?”

“As you can see, I’m enjoying delicious food,” Qin Lang calmly answered.

“This isn’t tasting, it’s wasting food!” the boy scoffed. He glanced at the two Food Spirits that were with Qin Lang, “You’re supposed to be a Spirit Chef, yet you don’t even understand such basic things!”

Qin Lang ignored the boy and turned his attention to Qiu Yidong who was beside him, asking suddenly, “Mr. Qiu Yidong, do you think how you eat sturgeon caviar is important?”

Qiu Yidong looked at this young Spirit Chef he didn’t recognize, thought for a moment, then slowly replied, “Good ingredients should be tasted in the best possible way. This is very important.”

“Understood, thank you for providing the dishes.”

Qin Lang nodded and looked at Si Wenwen, “This is a disappointing cooking exchange event. 1 think there is nothing here that can enhance your cooking skills, so it’s time to leave.”

Having said this, he turned and walked towards the exit.

Watching Qin Lang leave, Si Wenwen felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.

The person who helped her when her best friend betrayed her, and the others were mocking her, was Qin Lang. This was something she never expected. “Yes!”

She finished the remaining dishes in one go, glared at the boy who was mocking her, and followed Qin Lang out without any hesitation.

“Hold on!”

Qiu Yidong’s expressions turned grave.

Si Wenwen wasn’t even a Spirit Chef yet, he didn’t really care about her leaving.

As for Qin Lang, someone he didn’t recognize, Qiu Yidong didn’t really care about him leaving either.

But, the fact that Qin Lang was disappointed at the cooking exchange event was something that he, as the organizer, couldn’t tolerate.

Organizing cooking exchange events like this was something that he was proud of, it gave him a strong sense of accomplishment, and now this feeling of accomplishment was being denounced.

“You say, you’re extremely disappointed at this cooking exchange event?”

“From my point of view, this doesn’t qualify as a cooking exchange event at all.” Qin Lang shook his head, “It’s just a lot of self-advertising with no real purpose.”

Qiu Yidong’s face turned a shade of green and then a shade of white, “You can say these words because your cooking skills are great, right? How about having a Food Fight with me?”

“Not interested,” Qin Lang decisively replied.

In the past, he never refused any Food Fight.

But this time, he felt that the opponent was not worthy of being his opponent.

“In my opinion, he is afraid having learnt that Mr. Qiu Yidong was the champion of Danju City Cooking Competition last year!” The female Spirit Chef who had been giving him a lecture earlier commented.

He was last year’s champion of Danju City Cooking Competition?

Qin Lang glanced at Qiu Yidong and looked away.

“Let’s leave.”

Seeing the two ignoring her provocation and about to leave the venue, the female Spirit Chef’s eyes filled with dissatisfaction, “Hmph, let’s not let those two uncivilized people spoil our mood!”

Qin Lang’s steps halted once more at the entrance of the venue.

“Etiquette isn’t something that gets to be dictated by others, or makes one feel superior.” His voice wasn’t loud, but it resonated in the ears of all those present, “Not causing others any discomfort, that’s the true etiquette.”

“Everything you’ve done is the antithesis of proper dining etiquette.”

Qin Lang did not linger, and he left the venue with Si Wenwen who had a face full of admiration.

With their departure, the venue fell silent.

Qin Lang’s last words echoed in their hearts.

People who were initially arrogant now had their faces alternating between green and white, looking very uncomfortable.

“The young people today are really hot-blooded,” in one corner of the hall, a middle-aged man sipped his wine and shook his head. He then turned to Li Hong at his side, “Li Hong, that boy was brought here by you, right?”

“A piece of advice for you, don’t bring someone like this to an event like this next time, it makes all of us look bad.”

“And, I have a piece of advice too. Don’t give me advice.” Li Hong calmly placed his empty wine glass on a platter held by one of the waiters. “And, I’m interested in cooking exchange activities, but not in bragging contests.”

“If the next event is going to be like this, don’t invite me.”

“Huh?” The man with his face frozen in surprise.

Watching Li Hong walking towards the door, his expression gradually turned grim.

Who was that young man? Li Hong dared to offend him for that kid?

“Mr. Li Hong?”

Qiu Yidong, realizing that Li Hong was leaving, felt a change in his expression. The several outstanding chefs who participated in the event were heavyweight figures that he had personally invited. Seeing one of them leaving, Qiu Yidong’s face grew nervous.

“Step-”

Li Hong stopped in front of Qiu Yidong.

“The young man who just left is named Qin Lang.” He calmly looked at Qiu Yidong, “Remember this name.”

“Half a month ago, he defeated the current champion of Danju City Cooking Competition, Lei Ke.”

Qiu Yidong’s pupils shrank.

Lei Ke…

As a Spirit Chef of Danju City, he was naturally all too familiar with this name.

This was the Genius Spirit Chef who was known as the strongest city-level cooking champion in recent years in Danju City. Even now, he didn’t dare to claim that he could beat Lei Ke.

The boy who just left looked no more than in his teens and had the ability to defeat Lei Ke?!

“How is that possible?!” The female Spirit Chef’s eyes widened and she couldn’t help but exclaim, “If that’s the case, why didn’t he dare face off against Mr. Qiu Yidong in a Food Fight?”

Li Hong didn’t respond, but asked Qiu Yidong again, “How many second-level Food Recommender Badges have you obtained?”

“Three”, Qiu Yidong responded, coming back to his senses.

“How long did it take?”

“One and a half years.”

“Is that so?” Li Hong gave a whimsical smile, “Qin Lang got three second-level Food Recommender Badges in less than a month.”

“What?!” Qiu Yidong couldn’t help but exclaim.

He had an incredulous look on his face.

Only one who has obtained a second-level Food Recommender Badge knows how hard it is to achieve.

Why could Qin Lang do it so quickly?

On what grounds could he do it this quickly?

Qiu Yidong was rooted to his spot.

He suddenly realized that the boy who’d left earlier, who didn’t respond to his challenge wasn’t because he didn’t dare to.

It was because he despised him…

Looking at Qiu Yidong’s slowly clenched fist, Li Hong chuckled, “Don’t worry, you will have a chance to face him off at the Leaping Fish Banquet.”

He did not linger, stepped out of the venue and left behind one sentence.

“By the way, I also thought that this cooking exchange event was very disappointing.”
